Hey guys I stupidly painted my rear tail light surrounds on my ta22 with alloy spray paint and have now decided to try and get them back to original,i didnt prime them originally but is there somthing that i can use to strip them without stripping the chrome off aswell?
Thanks

Well, considering the fact that chrome isn't painted on, paint removed should do the trick fine.. Another option is fine grit sand paper, it'll remove the paint and give your chrome a nice make-over. 
Could also try acetone (should work fine) or wax'n'grease remover (not likely to work now that it's dry).
